Online Check-In

Merit Health Wesley offers a convenient, online check-in service for the emergency department.

Once you arrive at your designated time, you will be promptly seen by a healthcare professional.

Select a projected treatment time to check-in for an upcoming visit to the ER:

Because our emergency department staff must treat patients based on the severity of illness or injury, your time is not guaranteed. We will see you as close to your designated time as possible. If your symptoms worsen or you believe you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department as soon as possible.
